Welcome on board Bob, I've just gone the other way, no jokes please

Must say though I prefer the Triumph, the power, the brakes & best of all the the 150 miles + on a tank full,

I'm in Scone, on M*******all Road. Don't suppose you are in Ba******e and ride a red SP1 zero?
As for swapping from Hinkley back to Honda, I originally went to Triumph following a bad Honda VFR experience, "best all rounder" my butt. Bike had 4000 miles when i bought it, gave me 3 years of failure and misery. Went to Triumph triples, firstly Daytona 955i and lastly Sprint RS, both good bikes but I must confess to find the VTR is of a higher standard of finish and build quality is definately better.
As for Boyd, well what can you say!

zero, which bits do you need to get on the road? The cans i bought from me mate for £60 'cos there are both a bit tatty, if you need them just take them and see me next spring. If you need the original cans take them and i'll get a shot of them back for MOT next year.
I have Harris adjustable rear sets on the bike but find them too high so was going to sell them on ebay, if you had needed the sets I could have just given them to you and kept the Harris's on. The Nova dark screen came with the bike, if you want it just let me know.(Buy me a pint one day)

On advice I have increased the idle and, by jings, she does not cut out at the lights any more.
